Getting USB ports to the front ?

OU812 · 05-12-2013 11:55pm #1

Really the only thing that bugs me about being a mac user is the small number of USB ports & the fact they're awkward to get to.

I discovered this thing on kickstarted:

Which would have been ideal but unfortunately didn't get funding.

Anyone know of anything similar that's available ?

Now if they made that in aluminium, that would be interesting..

Great idea. Boggles my mind why Apple who are apparently the masters of all things brilliant, make so many things so dam farkin awkward! Amazed this did not get funding.

Well, to be fair - thats been the design for god knows how long.

Where's the link to this kickstarter - would be curious to read up some more about this

It would be better underneath than to the front less intrusive

Do a search for imac on there. There's actually two different types, both of which failed.

The one above had an aluminium paint version also.

I'm baffled as to how it didn't get funding

That's actually a very clever little device ! Could use it myself, mad that it never saw the shops !
